Department of Financial Aid Aggie Summer Institute

This summer the Department of Student Financial Aid is teaming up with your community

to provide students a FREE opportunity to learn about and prepare for college, Aggie

Summer Institute (ASI).  We need your help.  Texas A&M is looking for volunteers to help

chaperone the participants.  Each program will include 30 students from the 7th through

12th grades for a total of 180 students.  The program is being held June 25th through

June 29th.  The website https://financialaid.tamu.edu/asi/  has more information about

volunteering for Aggie Summer Institute 2007.

 

Additionally, Texas A&M is looking for students to participate in this college prep program. 

The students will learn about majors and careers, time management, personality profiles,

good study habits, applying for college, applying for financial aid, and much more.  ASI will

be held in the following cities: College Station, Corpus Christi, Arlington, Houston, Laredo,

San Antonio and Weslaco.  As a targeted outreach to the seniors, we will have a campus

visit on the 29th from each region.  While in College Station the students will tour Texas A&M

University and visit with various colleges and departments.  Additionally, the seniors who

complete the program will be eligible for a scholarship drawing totaling $42,000.  Please

announce this opportunity at your school for all students to apply.  The students do not have

to be interested in attending Texas A&M.  This program is designed to provide participants

with information that will be useful in their future, regardless of the university or vocational

program they choose.
